Instructions / Assembly

If you do not see the “Add To An Ecosystem” screen, or if you wish to do this at a later
date, you can always do so by accessing your Downlight settings within the Nanoleaf App
and tapping Connections.
Starting in your Ecosystem App:
If you wish to pair directly with one of the ecosystems, ensure the following requirements
are satisfied:
1. A Matter-compatible smart home hub for that ecosystem is already paired
2. Compatible Thread border router is already paired (may be the same device as
your smart home hub)
3. This is the first ecosystem you’re pairing your Essentials to. If you’ve already paired
with one ecosystem via Matter and want to share with a second ecosystem, follow
the steps here.
4. Pairing must be initiated within 15 minutes of the light being powered on.
Disconnect and reconnect your lights from power to re-enable Matter pairing (this
only works when the device has not already been paired via Matter).
Then, proceed with the following steps in the links below for your desired ecosystem:

AMAZON ALEXA

* Pairing with Apple Home is only available using an iOS device.
Sharing Matter Devices between Ecosystems
One of the promising features of Matter is Multi-Admin which lets you share your Matter
devices between ecosystems. Using this feature, it can be controlled by any or all of the
ecosystems (ie. Apple Home, Google Home, Amazon Alexa, and Samsung SmartThings)
simultaneously!
